After first posting I am going to try and put up some of my other work. This ia a very old kit, fit was awful, decals broke up, but in the end I got it finished. As usual all comments welcome.

Nicely done there, I've got another one in my stash that will get built OOB, well maybe some different decals --

This is my first one

Update it with turboprops?

I am glad to see this strange plane again. Is this the one eating a car, opening nose/mouth?

Treat to see two builds of Superfreighter.  Good builds guys.  Don't recall ever seeing another one.

Or you could turn one into a heavy lift helicopter like an S-56/CH-37 Mojave.
